A thriller is a play, book or film that depicts crime, mystery and/or espionage along with supense, action and excitment.
A thriller is commonly called a 'Psychological Thriller', because they can mess with your mind and get behind the actually meaning of the film, hence 'Psychological'. Thrillers commonly follow conventions which make them thriller films, a few examples are: the characters and the aura about them, music/sound and cliffhangers.
Linear films are films which are in the right order, e.g. beginning, middle, end. But a non-linear film is when the parts of the story are mixed up, e.g. end, beginning, middle, end. This can happen because a character retells the story of their life or something similar. The film Kill Bill Volume 1 is a typical example of a non-linear film. The whole story is in a strange order, where the ending actually happens early on in the film, and the beginning is shown later. This is very effective as the audiene knows some of what will happen towards tthe end, but as the end is shwon first, they want the find out the beginning.
